myFirst Robot

After Wednesday's session, I believe that u have totally no idea on how to build the robot. Therefore, we decided to have a demo on this Saturday (25th July 2009). Time is from 9am to 12pm, venue is SF workshop.

I will always post update in the blog, please visit the blog for updates. All information will be posted there.



On Wednesday, I had taught you:

1. The robot structure.
Rectangle structure is very stable. You can choose another design as well.

2. Sensor
IR sensor, infrared sensor. How to use 3 sensors to control it. We know that the line-following sensor is better weld under the wheel axis, because the sensor can react in the same time, and easy to be controlled.

3. Shaft
The shaft have to build that the way to fix in to the motor. Drill a hole and tighten the screw.

4. Lab machine.
Cutting Machine
Drilling Machine
Filing Machine
Please ask for lab assistance if you don't know how to use it.
